Tutorial - Stochastic ROSS#

This is a basic tutorial on how to use STOCHASTIC ROSS - a ROSS’ module for stochastic rotordynamics analysis. Before starting this tutorial, be sure you’re already familiar with ROSS library.

If you’ve already used ROSS, you’ve noticed the graphs present deterministic results, considering a set of parameters. In other words, the model always produce the same output from a given starting condition or initial state. In STOCHASTIC ROSS, the concept is different, and we’ll work it stochastic processes.

A stochastic process is defined as a indexed collection of random variables defined on a common probability space (\(\Omega\), \(\mathcal{F}\), \(P\)} where \(\Omega\) is a sample space, \(\mathcal{F}\) is a \(\sigma\)-algebra, and \(P\) is a probability measure. The index is often assumed to be time.

This new module allows you to work with random variables applied to the ROSS’ functions. Basically, any element or material can be receive a parameter considered random. Moreover, some methods are also able to receive a random variable (random force, random unbalance…). It means that a parameter, once assumed deterministic (int or float in python language), now follows a distribution (list or array), like uniform distribution, normal distribution, etc.

As consequence, plots do not display deterministic results anymore. Instead, plots shows the expectation \(E(X_t(t))\) (or mean) for a stochastic process and intervals of confidence (user choice).

Where:

\(X_t\) is the stochastic process;
\(t\) is the index time

import ross as rs
import ross.stochastic as srs
import numpy as np

Random Sampling#

Arrays of random numbers can be creating using numpy.random package.

numpy.random has a large set of distributions that cover most of our needs to run STOCHASTIC ROSS. In this LINK you can find a list of numpy random numbers generators.

When using STOCHASTIC ROSS, all the randam variables must have the same size.

Classes Name#

It’s important to highlight that in STOCHASTIC ROSS, the classes name are the same than ROSS, but with a “ST_” prefix to differ.

ST_Material#

There is a class called ST_Material to hold material’s properties, where:

ST_Material allows you to create a material with random properties. It creates an object containing a generator with random instances of rs.Material.

The instantiation is the same than rs.Material class. It has the same parameters and assumptions. The only difference is that you are able to select some parameters to consider as random and instantiate it as a list.

The parameters which can be passed as random are:

rho - Density
E - Young’s modulus
G_s - Shear modulus
Poisson - Poisson ratio

name : str
    Material name.
rho : float, list, pint.Quantity
    Density (kg/m**3).
    Input a list to make it random.
E : float, list, pint.Quantity
    Young's modulus (N/m**2).
    Input a list to make it random.
G_s : float, list
    Shear modulus (N/m**2).
    Input a list to make it random.
Poisson : float, list
    Poisson ratio (dimensionless).
    Input a list to make it random.
color : str
    Can be used on plots.

Note that, to instantiate a ST_Material class, you only need to give 2 out of the following parameters: E, G_s ,Poisson.

Let’s consider that the Young’s Modulus is a random variable the follows a uniform distribution from \(208e9\) to \(211e9\) \(N/m^2\).

var_size = 5
E = np.random.uniform(208e9, 211e9, var_size)
rand_mat = srs.ST_Material(name="Steel", rho=7810, E=E, G_s=81.2e9)

# Random values for Young's Modulus
print(rand_mat["E"])

[2.09870978e+11 2.09622532e+11 2.08564528e+11 2.08840575e+11
 2.08383344e+11]

You can return the random Materials created using the following command: iter() It returns a generator with the random objects. It consumes less computational memory and runs loops faster.

list(iter(rand_mat))

[Material(name="Steel", rho=7.81000e+03, G_s=8.12000e+10, E=2.09871e+11, color='#525252'),
 Material(name="Steel", rho=7.81000e+03, G_s=8.12000e+10, E=2.09623e+11, color='#525252'),
 Material(name="Steel", rho=7.81000e+03, G_s=8.12000e+10, E=2.08565e+11, color='#525252'),
 Material(name="Steel", rho=7.81000e+03, G_s=8.12000e+10, E=2.08841e+11, color='#525252'),
 Material(name="Steel", rho=7.81000e+03, G_s=8.12000e+10, E=2.08383e+11, color='#525252')]

You can pass one or all parameters as random (but remember the rule of given only 2 out of E, G_s ,Poisson).

Let’s see another example considering all parameters as random.

var_size = 5
E = np.random.uniform(208e9, 211e9, var_size)
rho = np.random.uniform(7780, 7850, var_size)
G_s = np.random.uniform(79.8e9, 81.5e9, var_size)
rand_mat = srs.ST_Material(name="Steel", rho=rho, E=E, G_s=G_s)

list(iter(rand_mat))

[Material(name="Steel", rho=7.79785e+03, G_s=8.00129e+10, E=2.10438e+11, color='#525252'),
 Material(name="Steel", rho=7.80866e+03, G_s=8.10989e+10, E=2.10230e+11, color='#525252'),
 Material(name="Steel", rho=7.84218e+03, G_s=8.02146e+10, E=2.09094e+11, color='#525252'),
 Material(name="Steel", rho=7.81669e+03, G_s=8.06195e+10, E=2.10574e+11, color='#525252'),
 Material(name="Steel", rho=7.78422e+03, G_s=8.13542e+10, E=2.08495e+11, color='#525252')]

ST_ShaftElement#

ST_ShaftElement allows you to create random shaft element. It creates an object containing a generator with random instances of ShaftElement.

Creating a list of shaft elements#

Let’s see 2 examples of building rotor shafts:

a shaft with 5 shaft elements considered random

shaft_elements = [
    ST_ShaftElement,
    ST_ShaftElement,
    ST_ShaftElement,
    ST_ShaftElement,
    ST_ShaftElement,
]

a shaft with 5 elements, being only the 3rd element considered as random. So we want;

shaft_elements = [
    ShaftElement,
    ShaftElement,
    ST_ShaftElement,
    ShaftElement,
    ShaftElement,
]

First we create the deterministic shaft elements.

ST_BearingElement#

This class represents a random bearing element.

ST_BearingElement allows you to create random disk element. It creates an object containing a generator with random instances of rs.BearingElement.

The instantiation is the same than BearingElement class. It has the same parameters and assumptions. The only difference is that you are able to select some parameters to consider as random and instantiate it as a list.

If you’re considering constant coefficients, use an 1-D array to make it random. If you’re considering varying coefficients to the frequency, use a 2-D array to make it random

The parameters which can be passed as random are:

kxx - Direct stiffness in the x direction.
cxx - Direct damping in the x direction.
kyy - Direct stiffness in the y direction.
cyy - Direct damping in the y direction.
kxy - Cross coupled stiffness in the x direction.
cxy - Cross coupled damping in the x direction.
kyx - Cross coupled stiffness in the y direction.
cyx - Cross coupled damping in the y direction.

The selected parameters must be appended to is_random list as string.

You can return the random disk element created using the following command: iter().

n: int

The coefficients could be an array with different values for different rotation speeds, in that case you only have to give a parameter ‘frequency’ which is a array with the same size as the coefficients array.

To make it random, check the example below:

kxx = [np.random.uniform(1e6, 2e6, var_size),
       np.random.uniform(2.3e6, 3.3e6, var_size)]
cxx = [np.random.uniform(1e3, 2e3, var_size),
       np.random.uniform(2.1e3, 3.1e3, var_size)]
frequency = np.linspace(500, 800, len(kxx))
brg2 = srs.ST_BearingElement(n=1,
                             kxx=kxx,

                             frequency=frequency,
                             is_random=["kxx", "cxx"],
                             )

ST_Rotor#

This class will create several instances of rs.Rotor class. The number of rotors to be created depends on the amount of random elements instantiated and theirs respective sizes.

To use this class, you only have to give all the already instantiated elements in a list format, as it follows.

    shaft_elements : list
        List with the shaft elements
    disk_elements : list
        List with the disk elements
    bearing_seal_elements : list
        List with the bearing elements
    point_mass_elements: list
        List with the point mass elements
    tag : str
        A tag for the rotor

rotor1 = srs.ST_Rotor(
    shaft_elements,
    [disk0, disk1],
    [brg0, brg1],
)

Running the simulation#

After you verify that everything is fine with the rotor, you should run the simulation and obtain results. To do that you only need to use the one of the .run_() methods available.

For now, STOCHASTIC ROSS has only a few stochastic analysis as shown below.

Obtaining results#

These are the following stochastic analysis you can do with the program:

.run_campbell() - Campbell Diagram
.run_freq_response() - Frequency response
.run_unbalance_response() - Unbalance response
.run_time_response() - Time response

Plotting results#

As it has been spoken before, STOCHASTIC ROSS presents results, not deterministic as ROSS does, but in the form of expectation (mean values) and percentiles (or confidence intervals). When plotting these analysis, it will always display the expectation and you are able to choose which percentile to plot.

To return a plot, you need to enter the command .plot() rigth before the command the run an analysis: .run_something().plot()

.plot() methods have two main arguments:

percentile : list, optional
    Sequence of percentiles to compute, which must be between
    0 and 100 inclusive.
conf_interval : list, optional
    Sequence of confidence intervals to compute, which must be between
    0 and 100 inclusive.

Plot interaction#

You can click on the legend label to ommit an object from the graph.

Campbell Diagram#

This function will calculate the damped natural frequencies for a speed range.

speed_range : array
    Array with the desired range of frequencies.
frequencies : int, optional
    Number of frequencies that will be calculated.
    Default is 6.
frequency_type : str, optional
    Choose between displaying results related to the undamped natural
    frequencies ("wn") or damped natural frequencies ("wd").
    The default is "wd".

To run the Campbell Diagram, use the command .run_campbell()

To plot the figure, use .run_campbell().plot()

Notice that there’re two plots. You can plot both or one of them:

damped natural frequency vs frequency;
- use .run_campbell().plot_nat_freq()
log dec vs frequency
- use .run_campbell().plot_log_dec()

samples = 31
speed_range = np.linspace(0, 500, samples)

camp = rotor1.run_campbell(speed_range)

fig1 = camp.plot_nat_freq(conf_interval=[90])
fig1.show(renderer="notebook")
